Mechanism of apatite formation on a poorly crystallized calcium phosphate in a simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37 °C

Calcium phosphate-based bioactive materials have recently attracted considerable attention. In particular, poorly crystalline apatites (PCA) are successfully used for bone repair and regeneration, enhancing the osteointegration and osteoconduction properties. Our study aims to better understand the mechanism of apatite formation on the poorly crystallized apatite powders. For this purpose, two PCA samples were synthesized in the same conditions...
